When you get that itch, you have to scratch.
We'll see you next year. /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Great pics Rich. What's with the pipers?

Pipers are quite a fraternity. Here's a friend of mine from Scotland visiting the Grand Canyon.

Spectacular work Rich! You are truly gifted at this!

I just got back from my Tokyo trip seeing the latest equipment in camcorders and digital stills, too. Your mouth would have been watering, pal.

Can't wait until next year at the Open. It's really become a special week for me.

Wally, from what Barry said, the drum and piper group performed at the finals for many years. However, the group is from the Chesapeake police department and, for obvious reasons, they did not perform for the last few years. Barry said they actually did some investigating, before they would agree to come back. The investigation must have gone well, because they came back and performed in grand style. /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks Brian. I'm happy everyone is enjoying them.

I hope you brought back some samples. /ccboard/images/graemlins/blush.gif
If you don't know what to pick up, I will be glad to give you a list for the next time. /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think there are a number of us who feel the same about the Open. We are already looking forward to next year.

Great pics, Rich! Outstanding as usual.

The biggest difference between your pics and the pics from all the pros is that you and Cathy aren't in the background in your pics! /ccboard/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 And it makes for much better pictures, don't you think? /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif <hr /></blockquote>

 BTW, I included the pictures of the pipers just for you, since they were not there the year you attended. /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif
